Deckhands work on floating vessels and are regularly required to perform manual labor outside in all weather conditions year round. Some work may be performed in vessel cabin as needed.
Must be able to crouch and stoop to get into areas with restricted headroom, to climb ladders and to lift and carry 50-75 lbs. There may be exposure to odors, dust, dirt, mechanical hazards, high noise levels and potentially hazardous equipment. The ability to board vessels underway in routine sea conditions is necessary.
Deckhands typically depart from a designated dock and travel onboard the vessel for the duration of their shift. Travel from one port location to another may be required from time to time and land transportation is provided by the company when needed.
Deckhands work 7-days on/7-days off schedule, working a 12-hour sift each day while onboarding the vessel. Deckhands may work a "day" or "night" shift.
